Good plan, Nick, the kid just might not have been faster than bullets if they were lucky. To make sure the command was at least a little effective, the General was suddenly supported by half a dozen Iron Men that must have entered the scene in the chaos, with varying displays of attacks at the ready in case the little terrorist tried to make a run for it. The first Iron Man hung back, sticking close to Quicksilver and bowing his head to Captain America for his well-timed arrival. The kid had spouted even more nonsense that Tony didn't even want to cope with and had to just store it to review later and compare all of these strange tales. They had to trip up somewhere.
There was no reason for Cap not to be alive, here or whatever racist fucking universe these kids came from.
